Abstract

Determination of azide as an impurity in medicinal products was performed for the following sartans with tetrazole functional group (synthesized with the use of azide ion): candesartan, losartan, irbesartan, olmesartan medoxomil, and valsartan. This was achieved using headspace gas chromatography using a dual column/dual flame ionization detector (HS-GC-FID/FID). The method was linear in range, from 5.0–30.0 μg/g, with a coefficient of determination of >0.998 (R2). The limit of quantification was 5.0 μg/g and the detection limit was 1.9 μg/g. The sample preparation procedure is fast and simple. The validation procedure was performed in accordance with International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) and Pharmacopeia guidelines. Moreover, besides the content of azide ions, trace quantities of residual solvents (methanol, ethanol, acetone, isopropanol) were found in the majority of sartan tablets.
